I usually end my MLBX betting about now, at the two-week mark. The games begin to get a lot more regular starters in them, and betting them is more like regular season---but with less information. I have always made my money by betting the big mis-matches you see in the first few weeks.
But I will stick it out thru Friday to try and get my bankroll back up. I'm usually am way ahead at this point!---record from '03 on 2nd to last day of posting
